U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2001-06-01

Applies 28 U.S.C. § 1291 · 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Civil Rights Act of 1871 / Section 1983 (Ku Klux Klan Act))

Relies on Albrecht v. Lund · Western Radio Services Co. v. Glickman

Decided 2001-06-01

¶1MEMORANDUM …

¶2Stephanie G. Pierce appeals pro se the district court’s judgment sua sponte dismissing her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action with prejudice pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

¶3We review de novo a dismissal based on res judicata. Western Radio Servs. Co. v. Glickman, 123 F.3d 1189, 1192 (9th Cir.1997). Because Pierce’s complaint raised claims identical to those she raised in district court No. CV-99-671, the district court properly found these claims precluded and dismissed the action without leave to amend. See id.; Albrecht v. Lund, 845 F.2d 193, 195-96 (9th Cir.1988).

¶4Pierce’s remaining contentions lack merit.

¶5AFFIRMED.
